void c_gagetc (char *pnam, char *cval, int len)

Description

PNAM

(an input constant or variable of type CHARACTER) is a string three or more characters in length, the first three characters of which constitute the name of the internal parameter whose value is to be retrieved.

CVAL

(an output variable of type CHARACTER) is the name of a variable into which the value of the internal parameter specified by PNAM is to be retrieved.
